Books that empower, enchant, and equip.

Simi is a playful, wide-eyed Bichon Frise who dreams of adventure. Nunnie is a grumpy, no-nonsense Scottish Fold who would rather spend the day napping in a sunbeam. They are opposites in every way—one full of boundless energy, the other an expert in quiet judgment. But when a slightly open front door and a gust of wind lead Simi to make a reckless escape into the city, Nunnie has no choice but to follow.

​

Suddenly, the comforts of home are gone, replaced by towering buildings, unfamiliar scents, and bustling streets. As the two navigate the maze of New York City, they quickly realize something important: they have no idea how to get back home.

​

The only clue? A small engraving on their collars: Return to Aurelia's.

​

What follows is an unexpected journey across the city, as Simi and Nunnie find themselves at a different Aurelia & Co. store each night. Each location offers a new encounter, a new lesson, and a new temporary home—whether it’s a streetwise black cat who refuses to share his tuna, a fashionable Italian Greyhound with a pearl-studded collar, or a wise old turtle with secrets of his own. Through lavish shop floors, hidden storage rooms, and the occasional jewelry-related mishap, the unlikely pair begin to learn that adventure is not just about excitement—it’s about the people (or animals) you meet along the way.

​

But as the days pass, Simi begins to wonder: Are they getting closer to home, or are they just wandering further away? And what if home is more than just a place—what if home is each other?

​

With humor, heart, and a touch of high-end glamour, Return to Aurelia's is a tale of friendship, belonging, and learning that sometimes, you have to get lost to find where you truly belong.
